Someone should make a companion piece "behind the scenes" image for this with Derpy in the background blowing bubbles & someone taking the photo, coaching her on how to get this look (maybe foto finish?).

Or just have these two notice Derpy off to the side & maybe Pinkie put her up to it because "the moment needed it!" or something...

Umm,I'm just curious what episode reference was I love you AJ about?was it the apple family reunion where you notice the shooting stars...?But,but,'Dawww this is just so cute and touching!Ohh and the bubbles add a nice touch too x3 It reminds me of childhood....just so...symbolic!

Aww but of course!Oh it really had me thinking about AJ more and well...how she's developed as the character she is today...so family-oriented...she'sgotten to be the head of the household even!for the most part...IMO ^^Though I guess Big Mac would be moreaffected since he was older...I don't know it's just so complex....and that my friend is one of the many reasons why I love MLP!Those characters and their backstories...:O

Yes I love those backstories and that the creators didn't really explain everything for us. It lets us to imagina almost everything. I personally love AJ. She is a hard-working and as you said family centered pony. I just really feel sorry for her. It must have been difficult to grow up without a pa and ma.
